Oh, Look. Trump Lied Again.

After the Iranian attack on the US base in Iraq, Trump said there were no casualties.

Except there were.

OK, fine.  Fog of war.  Whatever. Traumatic Brain Injuries are tricky things.  We deal with them a lot in coaching athletics and they are tricky because they are rarely visible. If you get kicked in the jaw and the muscles of your jaw seize up in spasm, giving you a headache, you don't have a concussion, but the symptom has to be treated as a concussion.

So, Trump didn't know that high powered explosions cause TBI.  Except, of course, when pressed upon the Pentagon reporting the injuries, Trump did what he always did: refuse to admit he was wrong. In fact, he doubled down on being an asshole about it.  Captain Bonespurs, the guy who called the Joint Chiefs of Staff "losers" and "babies," decided to mock the softness of these soldiers and the extent of their injuries.  In fact, TBI are very, very serious, especially among combat veterans. Repeated TBI can cause all sorts of cognitive, psychological and mood disorders.

Once again, the asshole-in-chief has laid down a marker that would've set the world on fire if Barack Obama had said the same thing.

Loathsome person, and 40% of Americans would walk through fire for him.
